On the last shuttle mission they should have painted it white like they did on the first few missions.

Would be funny if it fell on someone's house!!

@BarneySaysHi When the ET is jettisoned, the shuttle is on a sub-orbital trajectory but, the ET is high enough that it takes longer to begin reentry interface, and its going fast enough to make the period when its in space longer (throw a stone slow, then throw it fast...which one goes farther)
-
@jackjak100 Yeah but how long does it take since this thing is basically in orbit after launch. After all, it is considered to be space debris after disconnecting.
-
@BarneySaysHi it reenters in the indian ocean (this may vary depending on the launch inclination)
-
When the ET is jettisoned from the orbiter, it's trajectory changes from one aligned with the Shuttle to one that is directed toward Earth.
-
@Farrukh919 Atmosphere makes it deorbit -- the very same thing that would make the space shuttle deorbit if it didn't do an orbit insertion burn using onboard fuel. Look for space shuttle mission profile on, say, wikipedia.

I wonder how long it takes for a tank like that to re-enter the atmosphere.
